Sphygmomanometer and sphygmomanometer storage case

Abstract

To facilitate carrying by making a sphygmomanometer combining a blood-constricting cuff band with a sphygmomanometer unit thin and compact when not engaged in measurement, a sphygmomanometer combines blood-constricting cuff band 1 with sphygmomanometer unit 2 , and constitutes a structure that can be switched between measurement position (I) with sphygmomanometer unit 2 overlapping blood-constricting cuff band 1 and storage position (II) with blood-constricting cuff band 1 and sphygmomanometer unit 2 placed side by side.

1. A sphygmomanometer combining a blood-constricting cuff band with a sphygmomanometer unit having structure to measure blood pressure, where the sphygmomanometer unit comprises a box-shaped body having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a plurality of side surfaces;
 wherein the blood-constricting cuff band and-the body are rotatably connected via a pivot such that the body and cuff may be switched between a measurement position, in which the blood-constricting cuff is positioned adjacent to the bottom surface of the sphygmomanometer unit, and 
 a storage position, in which the blood-constricting cuff band is positioned adjacent to one of the plurality of side surfaces of the sphygmomanometer unit, whereby the sphygmomanometer unit and the blood-constricting unit are positioned in a side-by-side configuration, and 
 and wherein the blood-constricting cuff band is external to the body. 
 
     
     
       2. The sphygmomanometer described in  claim 1 , comprising an air supply/stop module for enabling air supply from the sphygmomanometer unit to the blood-constricting cuff band when in the measurement position and disabling air supply from the sphygmomanometer unit to the blood-constricting cuff band when in the storage position. 
     
     
       3. The sphygmomanometer described in  claim 1 , comprising an expansion prevention module for preventing the blood-constricting cuff band from expanding in the storage position. 
     
     
       4. A sphygmomanometer combining a blood-constricting cuff band with a sphygmomanometer unit, comprising a structure that can be switched between a measurement position with the sphygmomanometer unit overlapping the blood-constricting cuff band and a storage position with the blood-constricting cuff band and the sphygmomanometer unit placed side by side,
 wherein the blood-constricting cuff band freely rotates on a pivot shaft of a unit case of the sphygmomanometer unit, and the pivot shaft serves as an air pipe for supplying and expelling air from the sphygmomanometer unit to the blood-constricting cuff band. 
 
     
     
       5. The sphygmomanometer described in  claim 4 , wherein the blood-constricting cuff band is held by a connecting base connected pivotally to the unit case of the sphygmomanometer unit. 
     
     
       6. The sphygmomanometer described in  claim 5 , comprising a tube formed on an end of the connecting base, a connecting pipe extending perpendicular to the axial center of the pivot shaft inserted into an end of the tube, a polygonal shaft having flat faces formed on an end of the pivot shaft, and a polygonal bearing for receiving the flat faces of the polygonal shaft. 
     
     
       7. The sphygmomanometer described in  claim 5 , comprising a hook formed either on the unit case or the connecting base, and forming a hook catch on the other one for catching the hook to hold the blood-constricting cuff band in the measurement position. 
     
     
       8. The sphygmomanometer described in  claim 5 , comprising a battery storage space formed on the connecting base. 
     
     
       9. The sphygmomanometer described in  claim 5 , comprising an installed switch for switching the power source battery off only when the blood-constricting cuff band is in the storage position. 
     
     
       10. The sphygmomanometer described in  claim 5 , an installed switch for switching the power source on only when the blood-constricting cuff band is in the measurement position. 
     
     
       11. A sphygmomanometer, comprising:
 a sphygmomanometer unit having structure to measure blood pressure; 
 a blood-constricting cuff band, wherein the blood constricting cuff band is external to the sphygmomanometer unit; and 
 a connecting mechanism pivotally connecting the sphygmomanometer unit with the blood-constricting cuff band, wherein the connecting mechanism is configured to switch between a measurement position such that the blood-constricting cuff is positioned adjacent to a bottom surface of the sphygmomanometer unit and a storage position such that the blood-constricting cuff is positioned adjacent to a side surface of the sphygmomanometer unit, whereby the blood-constricting cuff and the sphygmomanometer form a side-by-side configuration. 
 
     
     
       12. The sphygmomanometer described in  claim 11 , wherein the connecting mechanism comprising:
 a connecting base configured to hold the blood-constricting cuff band; and 
 a pivot shaft pivotally connecting the connecting base. 
 
     
     
       13. A sphygmomanometer, comprising:
 a sphygmomanometer unit; 
 a blood-constricting cuff band; and 
 a connecting mechanism connecting the sphygmomanometer unit with the blood-constricting cuff, wherein the connecting mechanism comprises a connecting base configured to hold the blood-constricting cuff band and a pivot shaft pivotally connecting the connecting base, thereby the connecting mechanism is configured to switch between a measurement position with the sphygmomanometer unit overlapping the blood-constricting cuff band and a storage position with the sphygmomanometer unit and the blood-constricting cuff band placed side by side, and 
 
       wherein the pivot shaft is configured to serve as an air pipe to supply air from a pump and expel the air.
